Descripción:
Mariner Books, 1987. 8th printing.. Trade paperback. Very good. No dust jacket as issued. A minor smudge, right page edges. Else fine.. 0 217p. Color & B&W photo sections. Second highest, most difficult peak for mountain climbers, K2 in the Himalayas was where the author-climber-photographer spent the summer of 1986. Among the expedition climbers: 27 reached the top, 13 men & women died while making the attempt. The drama is 'almost unbearable' for readers through the words and camera lens of Curran.
